The Directing Oligarchy
The City of Greyhawk and its domain are ruled by a Directing Oligarchy, a group of technically coequal members who head various major interests within the city. The number of Oligarchs (also known as directors) usally varies between 12 and 18, depending on the political circumstances. Replacement of an Oligarch who dies or retires is not required. If a vacancy in the Oligarchy should be filled, the new Oligarch is chosen by vote of the curren Directors. The Oligarchy meets every Starday during the year to cover business relevant to the City, the Domain, and themselves.
The DIrecting Oligarchy periodically elects a Lord Mayor among it's members to lead them. THe election of a mayor occurs whenever the old mayor dies, retires, resigns, or fails a no-confidence vote consisting of a two-thirds majority of the Directing Oligarchy. Since 570 CY, Nerof Gasgal has been the Lord Mayor. So far, he has been one of the best.
THe oligarchy is currently (591 CY) at it's maxium number of members, but this may change in the next year. Each Director is named and described below, with his or her current age (and apparent age) and areas where that person is most likely to be encountered in the City, and Domain of greyhawk (Letters and numbers used in "The Adventure Begins" as a easy access filing system for discriptions, you of those with that supplement can use them to look up the discriptions of the various places) Important notes for the DM on each director are included. An asterix (*) indicates that person is a member of a secret "inner circle" of the Oligarchy that determines which issues are the most critical, then crafts most major policies.
